3 Quick Start Guide

It is assumed that the user has obtained and extracted
the source code and input data as described in Section 2.
This section is intended to get CCSM2.0 running "out of the box"
with a minimal amount of information. It is aimed towards users that are
familiar with the script files, the source code and the directory structure
and is planning to run the model on one of the supported platforms: IBM, SGI
or Compaq. A more detailed description of creating and running the executables
is given in Section 4 and in the CCSM2.0 User's Guide. The default
configuration is a 5 day, fully-coupled startup run on the high resolution
(T42_gx1v3) grid. Running this configuration verifies that all the input
data is in the correct place and the environment variables are set correctly
before any further changes are made to the scripts or the source code. This
will also provide benchmark output.
